  1. For the past 5-6 years, I usually only stop in every few months or so. For the draft and sky is falling stuff. I am good with making fewer visits. This is some weird stuff going on. People are going to click on a thread about how someone is randomly talking about how they like ice cream or something. Just an out of the blue random thread with no context. I think it fit perfectly where it was, but I really don’t care. I don’t really see why anyone does care. I never intended for this conversation to be it’s own thread, but here we are.
  2. I didn’t start this thread. Was actually replying to someone else’s thread. It all got moved to this new thread. Yeah, if I thought someone just started this conversation out of the blue then, I’d probably think they were nuts too. Talk about taking all the context out of what someone is saying. Wow! Not your fault though. I get it.
  3. I’m going on record of saying this might be the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen on a Colts board. @crazycolt1 I blame you, man. If you didn’t have crazy in your name then maybe they’d take us seriously around here.
  4. @w87r Please add a prefix to the first post in this thread about how this conversation was moved from the Peyton’s Legacy thread. The beginning has no context and people who do not know this started in another thread will be confused.
  5. The original thread is titled Peyton’s Legacy. His legacy consists of keeping the Colts in Indianapolis.
  6. Been on Colts boards for nearly 30 years… This is a first time I am the author of a thread that I did not start. LOL I guess on the bright side crazycolt, we got our own thread now. This is bizarre. They literally ripped our conversation out of another thread and made a new one. I think we broke into a new matrix or something. Awesome!
  7. I am a Day 1 Indianapolis Colts fan. They moved here when I was just a kid. I’ve never missed an Indianapolis Colts game. That’s right, 40 years and 0 games missed. Back then #18 was Mike Pagel. If you were a fan before me then you lived the Baltimore years. And if that is true then it makes no sense for you to logically disagree with anything I am saying. None of your story adds up and none of your logic makes any sense. However if you were not local to Indiana then pre-Internet, you would have missed out on some of the local happenings. You would have also missed a lot of Colts games. At this point though, you’re just disagreeing because you don’t want to admit you were wrong. You’ve doubled down on being wrong… Over and over. Facts!
  8. @NewColtsFan Of course teams used LA to bluff other cities. With the Colts, it’s not that simple. Jim Irsay was not convinced the Indianapolis market could support an NFL team. The Colts had a hard time selling out the (small) RCA Dome for over a decade, and even early into the Peyton years. Remember this was once a basketball state. I was literally the only Colts fan in my high school, and my high school is in the state of Indiana. Northern Indiana were mostly Bears fans and southern Indiana was a mixture of Bears and Dolphins fans. Bob Griese is from Evansville and the void of not having a pro football team in Indiana led to these facts. Peyton Manning changed all of that. @crazycolt1 You might not ever see the truth about this. It’s bizarre that any Colts fan could live through what happened and not know any of this. Are you not from Indiana? That’s the only way you not knowing what happened would make any sense to me. Even then, these boards have been around since the Jim Harbaugh days. We lived this horror and you’re acting like it never happened. This was discussed more than games were Monday Morning Quarterbacked. I’m not sure how a long-time Colts fan could miss any of this. Something about you is not adding up.
  9. You keep doubling down on being wrong and slightly moving the goalposts. Remember where this started. You laughed at me for making a very factual and correct statement. Continue on with your doubling down, on being wrong. If you think that’s saving face, it’s not.
  10. Yes he did. You are completely wrong. I don’t know why you cannot comprehend the facts of this. Peyton Manning is the reason the Colts are still in Indianapolis. Facts!
  11. Jim Irsay stood up in an owners meeting and asked what it would take for him to move the Colts to LA. He was ready to move the team. Indianapolis surprised him by actually funding Luke. All of this is as factual as the sky is blue. Anyone can choose to ignore it and act as though these things never happened. The fact is that Colts fans lived in fear for around a decade the Colts would move to another city. It was even possible the Colts could have moved to Cleveland at one point. Were you not paying attention to any of this? Every Indianapolis Colts fan lived the horror of it. It was in our face all the time. Wake up, man!
  12. Or you could have paid attention and been perceptive of the facts 20 years ago.
  13. Peyton is the only reason there is a professional football team in Indianapolis. Jim can have all the grievances he wants to and the first sentence might be connected to this one. Irsay was absolutely going to move this team. Peyton brought success and that got a new stadium paid for by tax payers. The Colts would have become the LA Express had Peyton not been drafted by the shoe. Maybe Irsay resents him for that now.
